Great fix Buddy. Ron G -
Hey all I have the frame assembled for this build. I also have the engine and both transmissions fitted (I decided to use the 5 by 4 trans from the kit). I still have a long way to go on this one. This view shows the 12V71-TT with both transmissions sitting in place. This view shows the cab and hood in place. I have to increase the length of the hood by a scale 15" in order to accommodate the turbos on the engine. This view shows the rear Hendrickson RS 1000 walking beam suspension from 3D Concepts. This view shows the gap between the hood and cab that needs to be filled in. A little mock-up with the W/T's. Well that's all for now be back with more soon. Ron G

Hey all I worked on the Astro 95 today. I modified the front axle into a workable axle. I cut off the ends of the kit axle and replaced them with peices of 1/8" plastic tube. Using a 1/24 scale metal front axle as a guide on how long to make them. I glued the tubes to the part of the axle that was left. I used the rest of the metal axle parts to finish my axle. This view shows the metal 1/24 axle on top and the modified plastic axle on bottom. You can see the two tubes that were added for spindles. This view shows the finished axle. The brake drums are left overs from the flatbed trailer that I modified for the front axle. This view shows the front axle with the front W/T's added. This view shows the front axle turned to the left. This view shows the front axle turned to the right. Well that's it for now be back with more updates soon. Ron G

Looking really good Buddy. Ron G -
Hey all I did a little more work on the dolly. I added the safty chsins. And boy what a pain in the you know what! This view shows the chains with hooks, attached to the dolly. It also shows where they will hook up to the back of the front trailer. This view shows the bottom of the dolly. The rings at the rear of the dolly yoke were where I had all the trouble. Hooking up the chain ring, the chain and trying to connect everything involved alot of bad words! But I did get them attached. I'm working on the second/rear trailer right now. Well that's it for now be back soon. Ron G
